I always associate hippies with environmentalism and sexual freedom. You don't want that???
I associate them with useless idiots who sit around in a park playing guitar in a circle rather than act.
Give me Punks over Hippies.
Hey!
Although yeah, punks ARE pretty damn awesome, I'll give you that 😁
im definately more hippie than punk but I did like casual and courteous slam dancing.
I associate hippies with body odor barely covered up with patchouli oil and body hair in places it shouldn’t be.
Have a look at your username and the post you wrote beneath it, lol~
They're a troll. Best to ignore them.
They’ve had some pretty funny ones in the past. There’s a reason they’ve been around as long as me and never got permabanned. Kind of a swing and a miss on this one.
I dunno, I think SMCF pretty much nailed it. Calling UBI and single payer "moderate" is a pretty big flag, and rejecting any "hippie shit" was a nice flourish.
Yeah, ig I’d say the first comment is funny but the second one relies too heavily on unoriginal stereotypes. But ig the clever part is people taking the bait on the “moderate” comment, so gotta give em credit for that
I feel personally offended that you define a troll as "someone who is sarcastic sometimes"
